E-iginimpa'e


E-iginimpa'e (Sumerian: π’‚π’…†π’‰π’‰Ίπ’Œ“π’Ί, e2-igi-nim-pa-e3) was a Sumerian ruler (ensi) of the Mesopotamian city of Adab in the mid-3rd millennium BCE, probably circa 2400 BCE. He succeeded another ensi known as Mugsi.

He is known from several inscriptions, most of them located in the Oriental Institute Museum, Chicago, with one tablet in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg. He was a contemporary of Lugal-zage-si as several land transactions are recorded between the two.

One of his tablets reads, dedicated to goddess Digirmah or Ensimah (π’€­π’ˆ€, equivalent of Martu) reads:

π’€­π’ˆ€ π’‚π’…†π’‰π’‰Ίπ’Œ“π’Ί 𒃻𒑐𒋼𒋛 π’Œ“π’‰£π’†  π’‚π’ˆ€ π’ˆ¬π’ˆΎπ’†• π’Œ«π’‰π’† π’‚  𒋼𒁀𒋛

d-mah/ e2-igi-nim-pa-e3/ GAR-ensi/ adab{ki}/ e2-mah mu-na-du/ ur2-be2 ki-sze3/ temen ba-si

"For the goddess Digirmah, E-iginimpa'e, ensi-GAR of Adab, built the E-Mah for her, and buried foundation deposits below its base"

E-iginimpa'e was "ensi-GAR", the highest civil office in Adab.
